ADVENTURES IN SCIENCE! is a neon-soaked, darkly comic, technicolor graphic anthology daring to tell the fates of imagined futures!

Dead Canary Comics have assembled a crack team of artistic architects to build worlds beyond imagining! These pioneering pencil prodigals have bled blood to bring you nightmare visions of a futuristic prison system, the next stage in warfare, the humdrum life of a single-women, and everything in between!

Each story is a self-contained 'what if', a pulpy adventuristic delight of scientific dreaming, a sideways glance at "what could be". Some stories are funny, some are serious, some are deep... all are guaranteed to entertain

These tales have been lovingly curated and compiled to make a fantastical, mind-blowing graphic novel by the team that brought you The Fitzroy Comic, Reddin, Last Driver and The Frogman Trilogy.

"BLEAK-TASTIC!" - Paul Gravett

"'Time on Ice' offers a Twilight Zone-worthy twist, and bodes well for the quality of the overall anthology" - Elie Collins, Comics Alliance

"Dead Canary Comics have garnered acclaim through their diverse output since their inception and quickly established itself as a company to be reckoned with. If you’re a comic book fan, you owe it to yourself to enter their bird-cage and never look back." - Kieran Fisher, Flickering Myth

"Their work gloriously refuses to obey the current fads and trends in modern comics and I can confidently say that you won’t find anything like this elsewhere on a shelf." - Tony Esmond, Down The Tubes

MORE BACKERS = MORE CONTENT FOR EVERYONE.

Over the last four years we've made a number of comics with the help of the Kickstarter community. We've then sold those comics online and at cons, and plowed all the profits back into hiring artists for this anthology (totaling almost £4000). We now just need your help to print it.

Artwork, Colouring, Lettering and Layout have already been paid for by Dead Canary Comics. This kickstarter is for PRINT AND DELIVERY COSTS ONLY!

Making comics is a labour of love for the whole DCC team. For those of you who have supported Dead Canary Comics over the years - you have our sincere thanks.
